THE TRAGEDY OF 1910

Historic documents about the downpour of July 1910

During a strong downpour, a storm caused the chimney of the Galbiate spinning mill to collapse onto the operating building, resulting in one fatality and a number of injured male and female workers. The telegram notifying the sub-prefect of the event and a report on subsidies for the victims' families are among the historic documents attesting to the event.
